what’s up with all the halsey hate? i’m genuinely wondering. did she do smthn controversial? i remember loving badlands years ago and she was blowing up and was super loved. did smthn happen?? x

she's honestly a good person and is actually unproblematic, i think she just has a personality that people find easy to hate. a lot of her interviews come off as very pretentious when she talks about the importance and significance of her work when in reality its just radio music

this just proves my point which i've voiced over her poetry when she just started out: she's not as skilled as she thinks she is. the way she wrote them on a typewriter and like.. generally seemed to care more about the aesthetic of this all always rubbed me the way that we're going to get this pumped up balloon of pretentiousness without the actual substance of a writer and not just as in the content of the poems but also in the skill-full delivery of stories or images.

 

 

this reminds me of another comment i read somewhere on here. someone jabbing at how she acts like some bohemian rockstar who lives and dies for touring and making art, and yet most of her live shows are lazy 

I don't have time right now to read the whole thing but i really like this piece so far. I like how they pick apart her influences and what devices she uses and it makes me happy to see since it's sort of rare to find people give lana the time of day for that sort of stuff.

I also agree with the point about a lot of lines, specifically the "they say i come from money but i didn't" are too self indulgent. It's one of my biggest problems with violet. Poetry is inheriently self-centred, but what makes allen ginsberg and walt whitman good poets is how universal the language begins to feel. Lines like "people always accuse me of being rich but im not i swear!!" and "im funny when i drink (btw i swear ive been sober for 7 years)" are just plain uninteresting at best.

They might be good topics for her to continue further on and delve into, but when she just puts lines in it like that it ruins the flow and makes violet harder to enjoy

WHY DOES SHE NOT WEAR A PROPER MASK WHEN SHE DOES AND MEET AND GREET BUT SHE DOES WHEN SHES RECITING POETRY ALONE IN HER CAR PLEEAASSEEEEE

the ass kissing is reserved for the insta and twitter stans. i know sometimes it feels like people are being critical here for no reason but i'm glad theres at least a space out there where its acceptable to have these sort of conversations 

love the hair though she's been serving the stepford wife look again lately 

I didn't buy the "plastic underneath" stuff either but i saw on an instagram account @ eilishdetails , billie was wearing a sequined mask and you can see in closer pictures that its actually made of some kind of silicone that the gems are attached to. So it's a possibility 

your time is up. good bye old man 

kind of glad artpop is underrated so i can have it all to myself to obsess 

if its allowed does anyone mind sharing "for the locals" 

Idk what's happening. what interview is it replaying?  Someone recap me on it when it's done xx 

Ohhhhhhh 

So by BBC you guys were talking about the british channel. i was confused 

Not necessarily a favourite of mine, but it made me understand why Lana might see herself in Sylvia 

“Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed to sprout breasts and ovaries rather than penis and scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars--to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording--all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night...”

― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

so happy she finally did an interview like this again. much better than that jack antonoff interview

here i am, getting excited every time she posts, like a fool

hey guys if i ever come on here and impulsively decide i'm going to spend $50 on the hardcover make sure to beat the shit out of me so i don't do it

Jen's little sister gives me that "oh look my sister is good friends with a celebrity, lemme take a pic quick" vibe 

 

Thanks tho Mackenzie, Lana looks gorgeous.

oh for sure. during that one baby shower earlier in quarantine mackenzie posted a lot of pictures and footage that rubbed off as sort of creepy and i can't help but feel like she's just sort of posting it so people know she's with lana 

Am I really gonna spend $35 on this idk

I honestly like The Bakery. I'm a fan of simple songs and I think it's supposed to just be fun instead of having some deep meaning. I understand why other people don't like it so I hope there is a lot of variety on the EP 

yeah it's catchy. i like it more than what she was doing on k-12, literally just going through a list of different social issues to bring up because usually when people do that it's just surface level and uninteresting commentery ( it reminds me of this old canadian show called degrassi where every episode just had to bring up another social issue for the sake of it)

Can BTS stop with dynamite. i am so god damn tired of hearing this song. they're pulling a justin bieber yummy and are uploading a bunch of slightly different music videos to get more streams on the song, and like 15 different remixes of it. i haven't even heard of any news of an album, so it's not like they're promoting an album

im slowly becoming obsessed with her

how does billies music stand out?

a lot of her songs are really emotionally effective. before getting into her it was easy to assume that her music would just be another kid making lazy "edgy" lyrics but I actually found myself invested in what she was singing in 

I know Billie Eilish has stated lana del rey to be one of her biggest inspirations but they are completely different and constantly seeing  comments on how lana "invented" her is annoying. the only thing they have in common is that they sing about sad things, but i can name you a billion other artists who do the same

billies music, in terms of both sound and lyrics, are extremely simple but they're effective. Lana is known for her work that is extremely grandiose and prose-y. 

completely different. they're even sort of opposites. 

I'm now realizing that i already posted something just like this on this thread already. but the reason it's coming back to me again is cause i've finally decided to look into billies music and it really does stand out
